HAT.

Application filed December 1, 1910. Serial No. 595,034.

To 'all whom it 'may concern:

Be it known that I, DAVID STERN, a citizen of the United States, and aresident of the city of New York, borough of Manhattan, in the countyand State ot' New York, have invented a new and Improved Hat, of whichthe following is a full, clear, and exact description.

My invention relates tohats, and it has for its object to provide onehaving a separate crown member, which may be readily mounted on a brimmember, so that hats of many dilierent styles may be quickly provided bythe select-ion of the desired crown member, to be used with the brimmember which has been previously selected. Inasmuch as the brim memberhas a crown portion which is inclosed by the crown member it will beseen that the crown portion of the brim member may rest against the headof *the wearer, although the crown member which is mounted on the brimmember may be of relatively great diameter. This may be done withoutgreatly increasing the weight of the hat. It will be understood that thetwo portions of the hat may be trimmed separately, which is a greatconvenience to.

the milliner.

Additional objects will appear in the following complete specification,in which the preferred form of my invention is disclosed.

In the drawings similar characters of reference denote correspondingparts in all the views, in which` Figure 1 is a perspective view of thebrim member; Fig. 2 is a perspective View of the completed hat; Fig. 3is a sectional view of the completed hat; and Fig. 4 is a perspectiveview of the crown member.

By referring to the drawings it will be seen that the brim member 5 hasa brim 6, and a crown portion 7 the crown member 8 having an opening 9therethrough, in which the crown portion 7 of the brim member 5 isnormally disposed, as shown in Figs.

2 and 3 of the drawings. The upper portion 10 of the crown member 8 isbent inwardly and downwardly, as best shown in Fig. 8 of the drawings,and when the said crown member 8 is mounted on the brim member 5, thesaid inwardly and downwardly disposed portion 10 of the crown memberrests against the side of the crown portion 7 vof the brim member toprevent any lateral displacement oit the crown member.

Hats may be manufactured in accordance with my invention at very littleexpense, and they will not only greatly yassist the milliner in carryingher stock and in trimming her hats, but they will also be of greatconvenience to the wearer.

It will be seen that the brim member shown in Fig. l of the drawingsresembles Y hats as they are now constructed and that when the crownring member is mounted thereon the crown is extended to form a hat of anentirely different style.

As Ithe trimming may be sewed to the crown member without damage to thebrim member the crown member may be removed and the brim member with itscrown portion may be trimmed and worn.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent:

1. In a hat a brim member having a crown portion and a crown memberhaving an opening therethrough in which the crown portion on the brimmember is disposed, the crown portion of the brim member being spacedfrom the crown member, and means t'or holding the crown member inposition relatively to the crown portion of the brim member.
